The Chilli Boys have been busy in the transfer market and behind the scenes, reshaping their squad and technical team ahead of the new season.
Former Wydad Athletic Club assistant coach Sinethemba Badela has taken charge as head coach, with Musa Nyatama named his assistant, while Sinesipho Mali steps in as the club's new Sporting Director.
This latest business adds to a growing list of arrivals, including Goodman Mosele, Azola Tshobeni, Sammy Seabi, Elson Ayanda Sithole, Thamsanqa Magwaza, Khanya Mfecane, Thulani Mini, and Abdoulaye S. Mariko (on loan from Orlando Pirates).
Mbhele, described by the club as a "rising star with pace and power," offers versatility on both wings and is expected to bring flair and intensity to Chippa's forward line.
Dlamini, meanwhile, is a dynamic left winger known for his energy and direct style of play. The club says his arrival will inject "excitement" into their attack as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
